Northern Ireland’s Newry Reporter rescued by National World

Northern Ireland’s paper The Newry Reporter has been bought by News Letter owner National World plc.

The paper, which was founded in 1867, was to shut with the loss of 10 jobs after a final edition on Jan. 25.

National World said:

“The Reporter has been maintained as a high-quality paper by its previous owner, Edward Hodgett Ltd, and has a strong and dedicated readership and audience through online subscription.

“The Reporter’s long heritage in Newry and the Mournes presents a key opportunity to underpin National World’s growth in its business in Belfast, Derry and other weekly papers, including its Farming Life Saturday publication that enjoys significant circulation in the area.”
